There is no way of knowing what Gore would have done or not done. He couldn't beat GWB so it doesn't matter.
Liberals don't believe almost all of what you write in this post. They want government to grow, the do want to cut defense spending but grow almost all other spending, including spending on our health care system. They didn't even get a public option passed when they held all the power so they don't believe in socializing the entire system either.
The Democratic party sold it's sole when Clinton moved it's campaign finance base away from unions and over to Wall Street. Go look at which party in nearly every election collected more money from big corporations and Wall Street. It was not the Republicans, why do you think Dodd/Frank didn't get to the heart of the financial melt down? Because proprietary trading inside the big banks with casino that raises so much campaign cash for Democrats.
Democrats have as much interest in balancing the budget as the Republicans had. Do you know who signed the bill to extend the Bush tax cuts? Why do you think that was?
